i noticed i do have in my system some downloaded hot fixes , but i can not delete them since i do not have the option in ccleaner.how can i get this option ?
*i tried also to install/ran ccleaner as admin. but it did not help

There arent hotfix uninstallers in Vista/W7. Which is why ou dont have the option in CC.

thank you very much for the answer!
can you provide me the link where it is written please?
(i ggogled all over and didn't see it anywhere......)

This KB article describes the MSU packages that are used for updates/patches etc.

You'll also note on your Vista machine you wont find the $NTUninstallKBxxxxx folders. You will find updates are stored under C:\Windows\winsxs

I've also noticed some stand alone updates being stored in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download
In the form of cab files and catalogs. I dont reccomend deleting anything from either of those locations. Use the 'Programs and Features' > Installed Updates to remove updates/patches etc.

thank you very much for your detailed answer!

still....
1-how can i delete hotfix uninstallers in vista, without deleting the hotfix itself? (only the uninstaller) i think understood that they aren't hotfix uninstaller in vista?
2-could you find in piriform web site any page/decleration about hotfix uninstallers in vista?
3-i noticed that C:\Windows\winsxs is 6giga! can i/what to delete from it?
hope you can answer me again 3 questions in detailes-thanks again!

1. There are no separate uninstallers. This has changed to a format of a package. Think of it as one single peice of software that installs and uninstalls windows updates and patches.

2. I cant remember the threads off the top of my head, but about 9 months to a year ago it seems it was a popular topic. Many people have discussed it. You can do a search for hotfix uninstallers and you'll see numerous posts, mostly relating to XP when there was an uninstaller for each update.

3. I dont reccomend removing any files. These files are the OS and updates + patches. As an update is installed it replaces the obsolete file(s) in the file store. Which is why you shouldnt remove anything from that folder.

thank you again
for completely clarify my questions
